Firming Up Concepts

Ballot box piece- What is one’s voice in democracy? How does the media effect one’s voice? How are those in the Middle East so much different from us?
Presidential piece- Media’s use of creating a personality out of politicians to remove us from the democratic process. Oversaturation of rhetoric and “sound bites” within our experience of events. Ongoing justification of conflict
Helmet piece- What is our connection to conflict? All of us, not just those at war, feel and are responsible for the repercussions of war. As fighting for democracy abroad is portrayed to us with disconnect, fighting over democracy at home is just as harmful.
Projected piece- How is news construed to support the interests of those making it? Where is the desensitization of violence condoned by those informing us? General desensitization of the view of violence because of its portrayal to us.
